[SOLVED] Delete untarred tar files

Post by Allewyn2 »

If I've expanded and installed a program from a tarball, is it safe to delete the download .tar or .tar.gz, files etc?
Thank you!

Most likely, but perhaps you want to reinstall later.

That's a thought. Maybe I'll keep them in long-term storage. Thanks :)
